7dp2dt and hoping really hard for some baby dust

It's a week since my 2 little fighters were transferred and AF is due today. I can absolutely understand how people become hypochondriacs, checking every little symptom on a million websites because I'm having to hold back from doing that myself now, and I don't want to turn to into a crazy lady; the 2ww is hard enough without going loopy (loopier?) to top it all off!

The thing is, all the little things that could suggest AF is on her way are also side-effects of progesterone (I swear, if my leg fell at the moment I'd think it was a side-effect of progesterone!) and also possible hints of early pregnancy - it's melting my brain!

Off to get my hair cut (but not coloured!) in an attempt to relax and make myself look like me again (^-^).

Definitely best not to. Our whole systems are probably all to cock at the moment anyway!

New make-up is always a winner - have fun. xx

It's just the worst isn't it helsroo, before every one of my 2ww I've said I won't go crazy, will stay calm as what will be will be etc then it's like a personality transplant takes place at the transfer and I don't recognise the obsessive loony I become! 😳

Hope the rest of your wait goes fast and brings a positive outcome, enjoy your haircut and make sure you get a nice head massage! Lots of luck xx

Thanks Georgina78 - it's a crazy time! Good idea about the head-massage; at least I'll be a relaxed loony (^-^) xx

i'm with you all the way 🙃 googling every single twitch constantly.

i wondered if the progesterone and estrogen tablets prevent AF from coming?

enjoy your trip to the hairdresser, i might do the same tomorrow.

sending lots of sunshine & positive vibes your way ✨✨

Thanks Noodles! I wondered about that too, but then for my last cycle AF came - a few days late - whilst I was still using the progesterone gels so maybe they don't.

Sending baby dust and positive vibes to you too! H x

I will absolutely not obsess any more today! H x

🎇🎆🎇 sending you loads of baby dust. Hoping all goes well for you:) 🎇🎆🎇

Wishing you all the best for your 2 little fighters I really hope this is your time. I've not been through the process yet but can imagine that the 2ww is just unbearable, sounds like your also there so I've got everything crossed for you xxx

Just wanted to wish you lots of luck! The whole waiting thing is bad enough to start IVF then waiting from one step to the next but yes by far the 2ww is toughest! We analyse every single little twinge and start googling because by this point we've all turned into Dr google! ha ha ha Hope you enjoyed your trip into town for your new hair do!xx
